AM5728: Cannot find SYSBIOS examples in Resource explorer

Part Number: AM5728
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SYSBIOS

Hi,

I had been intending to develop entirely bare metal as per a previous project, but am now just quickly exploring whether I can get running with SYSBIOS without too much effort.

I am following the set of useful looking videos at:

https://software-dl.ti.com/public/hpmp/software/app_dev_procsdk_rtos/presentation_html5.html

I am at section 6.3 which describes using resource explorer to find examples for the AM57, however I do not see any such option within resource explorer.

I do have Sitara installed in ccs, and have the processor_sdk_rtos_am57xx_6_03_00_106 (however I don't see this discovered in packages). The only sign of the Sitara family seems to be AM335 and AM437:

Could you please point me in the right direction to getting started with SYSBIOS on the AM572?

Edit to clarify that this is all for DSP core development.

Many thanks,

James

  • Hi James,

    Please see a related post that I commented on a few days ago: https://e2e.ti.com/support/tools/ccs/f/code-composer-studio-forum/975003/ccstudio-sitara-are-there-no-resource-docs-in-ccs-for-am57xx/3681088#3681088.

    AM57xx SDK is downloadable from here, you can use that for your baremetal development.

  • Hi Karthik,

    Thank you for your reply, however I already have that SDK installed. My immediate issue is getting started with the SYSBIOS examples. I was following that video series which I provided the link to (I gather from your reply that this is now invalid). Would it be worth updating that video series or at least adding a note to explain where to go to find the new procedure)?

    I have to say that this is very confusing when there are lots of out-of-date sources of information on the TI website. I have struggled a lot with this in previous projects too.

    I have found that in the SDK demos there are project create batch files such as BenchmarkProjectCreate.bat I have tried which results in a bunch of errors:

    Should I be proceeding to debug this issue or am I on completely the wrong path. Please help provide clarity on what the correct procedure is for the latest ccs and SDK to get started.

    Many thanks,

    James

  • Hi,

    Please help provide clarity on what the correct procedure is for the latest ccs and SDK to get started.

    To start with SDK development, you can start with Processor SDK RTOS Software Developer's guide . It will have a detailed information on how to build and run different tests which is already as a part of SDK and also how you can develop your own code. 

    I have found that in the SDK demos there are project create batch files such as BenchmarkProjectCreate.bat I have tried which results in a bunch of errors:

    There are many reasons why you are getting these errors. One can be CCS version mismatch. Since, you mentioned that you have latest CCS installed, It's version will be 10.*, and if you have installed it in default path (C:\ti\), it must have installed in C:\ti\ccs10*. But if you have gone through  BenchmarkProjectCreate.bat, you must have seen the below line which is pointing to some older version.

    set CCS_INSTALL_PATH=%TOOLS_INSTALL_PATH%/ccs930/ccs

    You have to modify the path to point to your CCS folder. 

    My suggestion is to go through the developer's guide, you will find detailed information there.
